Red Tails?! Further Signs of the Apocalypse!
In another "I thought it would never actually happen" moment, .... Lucasfilm has actually finished Red Tails, a heavily CGI-laden movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. Actually I caught a brief glimpse of this trailer a few days ago, was like "eh? oh, its the Tuskegee Airmen" since I saw Cuba Gooding Jr. in it... »
The Bomber
Or, "Ballad of the Bomber" is a Russian/Ukrainian produced 8-part mini-series which will make its debut on DVD in Europe and the UK soon. No word on if we'll see it here or not. From the press material: In this high-budget all-action movie, a soviet aircraft crashes on Nazi-occupied territory. But the pilot and... »
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Aw, yeah. So what if its "yet another comic book movie?" Captain America is just a whole lot of old fashioned fantasy fun. Of course setting it against the backdrop of WWII doesn't hurt things either, and gets it a spot on the old WMB, too! The backstory: 98-pound weakling Steve Rogers gets tapped... »
Glee’s Max Adler in “AWOL”
Glee's (ick) Max Adler spills something about his role in an upcoming Vietnam war movie, AWOL. I'll have to do some digging to uncover some more on this one. But, FTA: ....I'm going back to Michigan in August to film my next movie, "AWOL." It's a Vietnam war movie, dealing with soldiers and the... »
Spielberg’s “War Horse” Trailer
Well. I guess its time to say something about "War Horse." I've been avoiding it, because, well, its a "horse movie" and I'm really not sure how this is going to play out. But, judging from the trailer there will be lots of WWI scenery and CGI eye-candy to take in, so... From the... »
Captain America: The First Avenger Trailer
I know, I know, WTF are you doing, right? Well, here it is. America's favorite WWII comic book hero hits the big screen in yet another Marvel reboot. The good captain is just a part of WWII history, so just deal with it, OK! Yes, I will put a review up when I see... »
“Act of Valor” set for 2012
We all knew this was coming. The Hurt Locker Director Kathryn Bigelow is set to release a movie portraying the recent Navy SEAL elimination of Osama Bin Laden... starring actual Navy SEALS. This is nothing new in the history of war movies, to be sure, but we'll have to see what the finished product... »
Renny Harlin on ’5 Days of War’
Argh. Always the last to know! Again! (Well, I did report briefly on this back in 2009, but never heard anything since!) Renny Harlin was interviewed by "Den of Geek" regarding his movie "5 Days of War" (or 5 Days of August) which is supposedly out on DVD and Blu Ray. I don't see... »
“Dam Busters” Remake, Dog Renamed
Yeah, OK, renaming the dog is probably a good idea. Remaking The Dam Busters? A little confused as to WHY anyone would want to do this. I mean, its a little slow to start, and I don't think today's audiences would quite appreciate all the development and testing that goes on there.... but really? ... »
Platoon (1986, Blu Ray)
I have to say, I was looking forward to seeing Oliver Stone's Platoon on Blu Ray for the first time. But you know what? It's still the same movie. My original review of Platoon as a film I think is still pretty much spot on. But after four-and-a-half years (has it been that long?... »
